Chapter 357 - 357: Nansha Island Water Monster Incident?
"Alright, Grandpa Shi."
Qin Feng nibbled at his apple and spoke, "You didn't invite me over just to eat apples, did you?"
"Ha ha, of course not."
General Shi laughed heartily and then looked toward Fang Wudi, saying, "This must be Master Fang, right? I've heard from Momo that she has already taken you as her master."
"Uh, uh uh..."
Fang Wudi nervously stuttered, unable to speak.
He had known that Momo had some background in Yanjing, but she never mentioned it, and he never pressed her for details.
Only now did he find out that Momo was actually the granddaughter of General Shi.
When he walked in earlier, he was so startled that his legs almost gave way.
This was definitely not the same level at all!
Including now, he was still too nervous to utter a single sentence.
"Cough cough, he's a bit nervous."
Qin Feng said, feeling slightly embarrassed on the side.
"Ha ha, no worries, we're all family here!" General Shi laughed heartily and continued, "I must say, Master Fang is truly a once-in-a-century Martial Arts genius, having cultivated traditional Martial Arts to such an extent, truly an eye-opener."
"General, y-you flatter me..."
General Shi laughed again, "However, Master Fang, I've watched your boxing matches, and I noted that your physique doesn't seem to belong to the Military General Level, right?"
Seeing Fang Wudi still nervous, Qin Feng simply replied for him, "Yes, his body has refined a strand of Immortal Energy, so even within the Martial General tier, he possesses the body strength of a Half-step Master."
"Immortal Energy?!"
General Shi exclaimed in surprise.
As a practitioner himself, he naturally understood what "Immortal Energy" signified.
The Essence Qi in the Sky Wolf Stone that Huoshadao refined could help him reach the top standard within the Half-step Master Realm.
Let alone "Immortal Energy."
Especially now that the Earth has long been depleted of Spiritual Energy, and the ancient Immortals and Demons have become mere legends, finding "Immortal Energy" is next to impossible, so a single strand was worth a golden mountain!
"Great fortune, what great fortune for Master Fang to have found a strand of Immortal Energy, that truly is the blessing accumulated over several lifetimes!"
General Shi exclaimed enviously.
"No no, it was my master who gave it to me."
Fang Wudi hurriedly said with modesty.
"Your master?"
General Shi paused slightly, then asked, "May I ask, which master?"
He had heard rumors that Qin Feng was his master.
He had always thought it was a title given in gratitude for the 'Heaven and Earth Dominating Skill' secret book, but never considered Qin Feng as his real master.
"It's Master Qin!" said Fang Wudi, "He's my only master."
General Shi looked toward Qin Feng.
Qin Feng shrugged and said, "Yes, that strand of 'Immortal Energy' was given by me."
General Shi was again taken aback.
He was astounded that Qin Feng was indeed his only master and surprised that he had found a strand of Immortal Energy and even directly gave it to Fang Wudi. This generosity was uncommon even among master and disciple!
After a while.
General Shi finally said, "It seems that the rumors might be true; you might really have the Dragon Seeking Plate!"
Other than the Dragon Seeking Plate, he couldn't imagine how Qin Feng, a mere son-in-law from a small family, possessed so many treasures, even finding the long-lost 'Life and Death Blade'.
Hearing this, Qin Feng gave a wry smile.
Except for the Seven-colored Bracelet he gave to Momo, which was located with the help of the Dragon Seeking Plate, the rest of his treasures were found by sheer luck and had nothing to do with the Dragon Seeking Plate.
However, his mention of it does indeed indicate a troubling situation.
After all, the Xu Family and Liang Family had previously invited a Grandmaster to seize treasures, and now Old General Shi believes in this rumor too. Perhaps more people will come knocking in the future.
I'll need to think of a way to handle this.
At this moment, Old General Shi changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard you have a Dragon Card? May I take a look at it?"
"Of course."
Qin Feng took out the Dragon Card for him to see.
Gently touching the Dragon Card, Old General Shi was certain that the Dragon Card was authentic, and with the name "Qin Feng" engraved on the back, there was no doubt it belonged to him, which led him to ask curiously, "Xiao Feng, how did you come to possess this Dragon Card? Of course, if you prefer not to say, that's fine. There are rules in place that allow the holder the right to remain silent and nobody has the right to inquire, hahaha..."
"Thank you for understanding." Toreporterrors,pleasevisittheoriginalposton*.
"..."
Old General Shi was immediately choked up.
He was just being polite and hadn't expected Qin Feng to actually take up the offer of silence, so he couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said, "I mean, Xiao Feng, could you not satisfy a bit of my curiosity? Even just a little..."
"Uh..."
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and then said, "I don't know if you've heard about the 'Nansha Island Water Monster Incident' from a few years ago?"
"I've heard a little about it."
Old General Shi recalled, "Back then, I was fighting in the Eastern Territory Sea and didn't know much about it. But I heard it was an event that shook half of the Hidden World. Apparently, ninety percent of people from the Dragon Group were dispatched there..."
As he was speaking.
He suddenly shivered, his eyes widening in disbelief, saying, "No way? You are a person from the Mortal World, how could you possibly have been there? And even made considerable achievements?"
"I am from Dragon and Tiger Village."
Qin Feng said.
"You really are from Dragon and Tiger Village?"
Old General Shi was again surprised.
Previously, when he investigated him, along with Fang Wudi and others, he heard Fang Wudi "boasting" that his master was from Dragon and Tiger Village, but no one believed it, thinking it was just bragging.
But it turned out to be true!
Dragon and Tiger Village is a very special place.
It is considered part of the Hidden World.
But it also belongs to the Mortal World.
Though it is a Mortal World village, the people living there from generation to generation are all highly capable, active both in the Mortal World and the Hidden World, and holding very high status.
"That's not right!"
Old General Shi thoughtfully said, "Years ago, I visited Dragon and Tiger Village. At your age, the weakest were at the Half-step Master Realm, except for one named 'Emperor Qin' who had no cultivation. There was no one just at the Inner Strength Martial Disciple level like you."
"Uh..."
Qin Feng was embarrassed and blurted out a white lie, "Maybe I wasn't there at the time. But I also heard about your visit to the village. When you went to the outhouse at the village head, someone set off firecrackers inside, splashing you all over."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Old General Shi immediately blushed and shook his head, waving his hands, "Let's not bring that up, let's not bring that up!!"
Being the War God himself, such an incident was too embarrassing.
"If I find out who the rascal was, I'll tear him into two, really."
He said irritably.
Qin Feng gave an awkward smile.
In fact, it was he who had done it, thinking the person entering the outhouse was the Old Village Chief, not knowing it was Old General Shi.
Of course.
He didn't know Old General Shi at the time, and wouldn't have recognized him had he not brought it up.
Now that Old General Shi believed that Qin Feng was indeed from Dragon and Tiger Village, he smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, don't be discouraged. You see, many things depend on talent, just take it slow, don't rush. Even if you can't make it in Dragon and Tiger Village, you might still achieve something in the Mortal World."
"..."
Qin Feng was utterly perplexed.
It seemed that Old General Shi thought his poor cultivation meant he couldn't make it in Dragon and Tiger Village and was thus driven out…
